Sorry to hear of your loss.

I know what you are going through. We had to do the right thing with our little Dashund that we had for 13 years. Like your dog, ours went fast she had lost 75% of her kidney function. They become a big part of the family, the Vet said she could live a little longer but she would only suffer. When we decided to have her put to sleep, it was a sunny day in January the ground was not frozen, and I knew what I had to do. I dug a hole where the other pets that had gone before her rest now. Before we took the last ride with her I walked her through the yard one last time. The Vet let us stay with little Libby while they gave her the injection. You think I can take this and it will be for the best but when it was over the tears fell. It’s a sad thing to lose a companion; animals are so forgiving. Like you said Bobby you give them your hand in a friendly gesture and they will always return the kindness.
